DRAW ACADEMY is a Title I public charter elementary school that is part of the DRAW ACADEMY school district, located in HOUSTON, TX with about 282 students offering grade levels from Kindergarten to 3rd Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families.
